Tylenol, Advil, Purina, Haribo face urgent FDA recall

Thousands of everyday products across many categories affected by the latest recall.

Key Points

FDA recalls over 2,000 products due to rodent and avian contamination in Minnesota facility.

Recall includes food, beverages, medications, and pet foods from major brands like Tylenol and Coca-Cola.

Contaminated products pose health risks such as Salmonella; sold in stores across three states.

But this latest recall, a widespread warehouse contamination, has prompted the FDA to recall thousands of everyday products. The products include medication and pet food, soft drinks and candy, and all seem unrelated: what they have in common is that they were stored in the same distribution facility in Minnesota.

“The U.S. Food and Drug Administration determined that the facility was operating under insanitary conditions, including the presence of rodent excreta, rodent urine and bird droppings in areas where medical devices, drugs, human food, pet food and cosmetic products were held,” according to the official FDA statement.
